Abstract

This paper aims to discuss how the actual potential of existing sugar palm development in farm households. The study was conducted using case study method, where the primary data is the main data used to address the research questions. Data were collection using questionnaire which were analysed with qualitative and quantitative approach. The result of the research shows that sugar palm is a commodity that has prospect to be developed to increase income and improve welfare of poor farmers. The potential of sugar palm business development was analysed in terms three aspects: 1) condition of land availability; 2) Manpower owned for palm sugar business; And 3) Experience about palm sugar plants business. Perceptions of farmers are also quite supportive for the development of palm sugarbusiness, although including the medium category because they look very open toaccept innovation.

Abstract

Utilization Titonia and soybean crop residues (straw soybean) as compost, is onealternative fertilizer to improve soil fertility Ultisol. This study aimed to determinethe effect of a mixture of compost and straw Titonia soy, lime and fertilizers inimproving soil fertility and soybean crop production. The research was conductedat experimental field LimauManis and laboratory analysis conducted at theLaboratory P3IN Andalas University, Padang. Research using Random Design(RBD), which consists of 10 treatments with 3 replications were tested. The resultsshowed that administration of lime, compost and fertilizers give effect to thechemical characteristics Ultisol namely against soil pH value, the content of N, Pand K soil. The provision of artificial fertilizers as much as 50% of the soybeancrop needs, provide higher impact than that of artificial fertilizers as much as 25%of the increase in soil fertility and the growth and production of soybean plants.Production of dry seeds of soybean highest weight obtained amounted to 1.85 tons /ha in the treatment of lime dolomite 500 kg / ha + compost mixture (5 tonsTitonia/ha with 5 tons of soybean straw/ha) + NK fertilizers by 50% of the soybeancrop needs (treatment G).

Abstract

This study aims to determine the factors affecting consumption and production of national soybean and the effect of soybean import tariff on domestic soybeanconsumption and production. This research was conducted in March - April 2017. The data used in this study is a secondary data in form of annual with a time series of 30 years ranged from 1986-2015. The result shows that the import quantity of soybean is affected by the variable of exchange rate; soybean consumption and import tariff. The price of imported soybean and exchange rate significantly affect domestic soybean price. While domestic soybean price and population significantly influence soybean consumption where a soybean productivity is highly responsive to wage rates. The simulation result shows that the quantity of imported soybean and soybean consumption increase with the tariff exemption (T = 0%) compared to condition when it is applied. Whereas, the domestic soybean price decreases at the exemption of tariffs compared to a condition when it is applied. Our study revealsthat the application of tariffs had no effect on soybean production and productivity.The result of forecasting without alternative tariff imports, which has been analysedduring the next 7 years, shows that in the next few years, Indonesia will not be able to achieve the self-sufficiency of soybeans.

Abstract

One of the effects of global climate change is the increasing sea level, which has resulted in higher intrusion of sea water to the mainland in the Mekong Delta region in Vietnam. This study specifically explores the impact of saline intrusion on the socio-economic life of farmers in this region. A socioeconomic survey was carried out in two provinces in the eastern and western regions of the Delta, namely the Kien Giang province in the West and the Tra Vinh Province in the East which represented two regions, each of which experienced different levels of saline intrusion. Data collection methods include secondary data collection, focused group discussions, expert interviews, key informant interviews and 280 household questionnaire surveys. Technically, saline intrusion has changed the farming system from rice culture to shrimp culture at both sides of the Delta. Because of the need for investment in shrimp culture, a group of farming communities with large capital quickly took the opportunity to move to intensive shrimp culture. Meanwhile, other groups of farmers who lack of capital, are only able to carry out traditional rice-shrimp culture by digging around their paddy field for shrimp pond, with lower economic outcomes from their rice and shrimp production. Weak social organizations in the community, making the impact of saline intrusion is only beneficial for a few groups of people.

Abstract

In a development perspective, small islands have limited economic access and opportunities, especially related to the economics of scale. Furthermore, the common problem such as climate change impact requires appropriate behavior of local inhabitant in order to survive in gaining to the economic access. Multi-ethnic society has different socio-cultural background that implies special characteristics and strategies to overcome climate change impacts. This study was conducted in Masalembu Island which consist of Madurese, Mandar, Bugis and Javanese ethnic. The aims of this study are to describe negative impact of climate change to the fisherman and to describe fisherman’s behavior for adapting climate changes. Theanalysis method is mixed method between the descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results show climate change causes fluctuating fish production, extending fishing ground to be more off-shore, uncertainty schedule for fishing and invasion from outer fisherman. Meanwhile, fishermen's behavior in overcoming the impacts of climate change consist of active response by Group of Fishermen, apply autonomous adaptation and apply adaptation behavior technologically, sociologically and regulatory. Based on these results, it is necessary to improve planned adaptation trough aquaculture, applying modern but friendlytechnology fishing gear and enhancing participation as well as cooperation among fisherman without ethnic consideration.
